An article in the Harvard Law Journal concludes unborn babies have a Constitutional right to life.

The Fourteenth Amendment, which was adopted in 1868, declares that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

A debate that has been raging in courtrooms for years is whether the “life” part includes unborn persons.

Harvard Law school graduate Joshua Craddock did some constitutional soul searching to answer that question in a report for the Harvard Law Journal.

He concludes that unborn babies do fall under the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections.

"One might look to dictionaries of legal and common usage, the context of the English common law tradition, and cases that attempted to construe the meaning of the text in a manner consistent with original meaning. Using this methodology, it is reasonable to construe the Fourteenth Amendment to include prenatal life."

"The structure of the argument is simple: The Fourteenth Amendment’s use of the word “person” guarantees due process and equal protection to all members of the human species. The preborn are members of the human species from the moment of fertilization. Therefore, the Fourteenth Amendment protects the preborn. If one concedes the minor premise (that preborn humans are members of the human species), all that must be demonstrated is that the term “person,” in its original public meaning at the time of the Fourteenth Amendment’s adoption, applied to all members of the human species."

In addition to using language to prove his point, Craddock puts his conclusions in context, noting that at the time the Fourteenth Amendment was written, several states called the unborn person a “child” in their anti-abortion laws. Moreover, The Stream notes, in 1859, the American Medical Association mandated that the government must protect the “independent and actual existence of the child before birth.”

Using this logic, Craddock notes, the Supreme Court justices were flawed in their 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, which granted the right to abortion. When he wrote the majority opinion, Justice Harry Blackmun failed to properly assess the word “person” as it was applied in 1868, Craddock argues.

[Political Sock @politicalsock]

If you want a glimpse of how James Talarico’s politics shape his religion, there are big clues in this prayer.

Talarico repeats something he says often, that Jesus only gave us two commands: To love God and love our neighbor.

This is false. Which Talarico shortly makes evident.

Jesus said that the greatest command was to love God, and the second command is like it, to love your neighbor as yourself.

This is a central message of Jesus, and it’s powerful. You can’t love God if you hate your neighbor.

Talarico takes this true premise and then massively distorts it. In the name of “love,” he then justifies every kind of immorality. It’s not loving, Talarico says, if you don’t tell a confused 7 year old that maybe he was born in the wrong body. It’s not loving if you tell a Muslim about Jesus, because you might offend him.

Talarico’s definition of love isn’t tied to TRUTH. It’s tied to every single left-wing political shibboleth. So, it’s “loving” for Talarico to call women “neighbors with a uterus,” because that’s more inclusive of women who “identify” as men.

Love detached from truth is not love.

Yet as mentioned, in this same prayer, Talarico goes on to explain that Jesus gave us far more than two commands. He runs off a list:

*Feed the hungry 
*House the homeless
*Heal the sick
*Release the prisoner
*Welcome the stranger
*And above all, protect your creation

You see, Talarico does believe that Jesus gave more than two commands. He just only talks about the commands that fit with leftist politics.

Consider some of Jesus’s other teachings. Here, from Mark 7:

“For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.”
Mark 7:21-22 NIV

You will never hear Talarico talk about sexual immorality. (That would be unloving.) Or condemn lewdness like drag queen story hours for kids (unloving!).

And indeed, you will hear Talarico teach ENVY in every political speech.

Talarico ignores the commands of God that diverge from his politics.

He’s not alone in this. On the other side, many who shout Christ is King on this website also proudly proclaim how they hate their neighbors. They also let their politics drive their religion.

Jesus doesn’t give you the option of being a Talarico or a Candace Owens.

You must have love. But you must have truth as well. Mercy and justice.

Jesus was perfect at these things, but when He calls us to “follow” Him, we are to become more like Him. Not just the parts of Him that we think fit our politics.

James Talarico sells a half version of Jesus. Maybe that’s why Talarico says God has “many names,” because a god from who you can pick and choose what to believe is not truly god.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”

Jesus is where love and truth come together, neither without the other.

Justification vs. sanctification — why the distinction isn't just academic:

Justification: declared righteous. Past tense. God's verdict, not our progress.

Sanctification: being made righteous. Present tense. Real transformation, not legal fiction.

Confuse them and you either have no assurance or no holiness. Both matter: https://t.co/lLqPSHdchd
